California

Today marks the two week anniversary of my return from a one week trip to California.  It's cold and rainy here and I miss the warm and sun.  And the eating.  Thanks to a friend's suggestions, we had ample guidance to steer us in delicious directions:  in San Francisco it was a perfect lunch of assorted appetizers at Green's (why is Vancouver only now getting vegetarian restaurants on par with this?); samosa salad at Burma Superstar; a fantastic morning bun from Tartine Bakery that was sadly sold out on the following day; pizza and salad done right at Pizzeria Delfina.

Napa, I miss you too.  Bubbles in the morning at Domaine Chandon and Mumm Napa;  pommes frites and salad at Bouchon and Bistro Jeanty (I'm hitting my new year's resolution of eating at French restaurants more often); tacos at the Oxbow Market.  The burrata at Bottega was enough to convince us to go back again for dinner the following night.  And the surprising winner?  A kale and farro salad at Tra Vigne that just might have been the best thing I ate in Napa.  (Perhaps it is also that kale and farro are the perfect antidote after a week of copious food and wine consumption...)
